WITH A NEW PUSH TO FORCE OUT SALINAS COUNCILMAN AND ALISAL UNION SCHOOL DISTRICT BOARD MEMBER JOSE CASTANEDA FROM HIS JOB WITH THE CITY. TONIGHT HE WAS SERVED RECALL PAPERS AGAIN AFTER AN EARLIER ATTEMPT failed to meet requirements. WITH MORE ON THE STORY HERE'S ACTION NEWS REPORTER TOM MILLER LIVE IN SALINAS. #### TONIGHT WAS THE FOLLOW UP TO LAST MONTH'S RECALL NOTICE WHICH WAS INVALIDATED BECAUSE ALL THE PAPERWORK WASN'T FILED IN TIME. THE SAME MAN SERVED THE PAPERS IN BOTH CASES... AND AGAIN... WORDS STARTED FLYING AND THINGS GOT UGLY. FOR THE SECOND TIME IN SLIGHTLY MORE THAN A MONTH JUAN SANDOVAL, AN ALISAL UNION SCHOOL DISTRICT EMPLOYEE, SERVED COUNCILMAN JOSE CASTANEDA WITH RECALL PAPERS. Juan Sandoval 12:39 This is the only forum I could serve mr Castaneda since he is kind of hard to catch so I just went ahead and served him once again 12:47 JUST LIKE LAST TIME WHEN CASTANEDA BROUGHT UP SANDOVAL'S CURRENT WORKERS COMP CASE WITH THE DISTRICT 47:38 Workers compensation and you've got time to be doing politics 47:40 THINGS APPEARED TO CROSS THE LINE AGAIN WHEN A CASTANEDA SUPPORTER CALLED SANDOVAL A GANGSTER AND CRITICIZED SEVERAL COUNCIL MEMBERS CRIMINAL HISTORIES. Jose Ibarra 8:34 Now in this community it is okay for a gang member who is under gang injunction to initiate a petition 8:42 9:00 when we speak about trying to diminish crime how can we do that when members of this council have behaved, actually behave in a criminal way mrs. De la rosa, mr. barerra, it doesn't surprise us 9:18 IT'S THE THIRD TIME SOMEONE HAS TRIED TO SERVE CASTANEDA AT A COUNCIL MEETING. HOWEVER THE PREVIOUS TWO INSTANCES WERE UNRELATED TO TUESDAY'S EFFORT BY SANDOVAL WHO AIMS TO REMOVE CASTANEDA FROM HIS JOB WITH THE CITY. 13:36 There's plenty of support, everybody is calling me, everybody wants to go out there and get signatures and I'm just pumped up, ready to do it 13:43 IF THIS LATEST EFFORT GETS CITY APPROVAL AND SANDOVAL IS ALLOWED TO START COLLECTING SIGNATURES, HE'LL NEED ROUGHLY 15-HUNDRED OF THEM - 25 PERCENT OF THE DISTRICT'S REGISTERED VOTERS BEFORE THE FATE OF THE EMBATTLED COUNCILMAN IS PLACED ON THE BALLOT. AT THIS POINT, WITH ALL THE RED TAPE SANDOVAL NEEDS TO GET THROUGH FIRST, THE CITY CLERK SAYS SHE DOUBTS A RECALL WOULD MAKE IT IN TIME FOR THE NOVEMBER ELECTION. AS HE DEALS WITH THIS, CASTANEDA IS ALSO APPROACHING AN AUGUST 8TH DEADLINE TO FILE A REBUTTAL TO THE CITY'S LAWSUIT WHICH SEEKS TO REMOVE HIM FROM HIS ALISAL BOARD MEMBER POST. ONCE THAT HAPPENS A COURT DATE WILL BE SET AND THE TRIAL WILL BEGIN. ### NOW TO
